From Jeaniene Frost, the author of the New York Times bestselling Night Huntress series, comes the first chapter of a sexy spinoff, in which Cat and Bones? closest confidantes are confronted with heart-stopping lust, love, and danger of their own.
The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows
all too well what lurks in the shadows—her best friend is
half-vampire Cat Crawfield—and she has already lost more
than the average human could bear. But her family's past is
wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness—and a demon
shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival
depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.
He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked
the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect
this endangered, alluring human—even if it means destroying
his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but
Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face
the nightmare together . . .
Because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both
be lost.
